I was adopted into this incredible home, a loving, positive environment, yet I had this yearning, this kind of darkness that was also inside me.

I don't know why 'happy' can't be a story.

Forget aging. If you're six feet above ground, it's a good day.

I drink a lot of water and I never leave the house without putting on moisturizer and lip gloss.

I'm a very independent woman.

The hardest thing for me is planning ahead. My mom was brilliant at it.

The foundation of family - that's where it all begins for me.
